Chapter 653 Awakening
"Damn it, am I going to die here today..." Faced with this situation of being attacked from both sides, Huang Donglai instinctively muttered this sentence.
But deep down, he knew that it was still too early to talk about death.
It wasn't that he, the Three-Character King, and Yun Shili couldn't "kill" their way out; they simply didn't want to do so.
If those three were truly evil villains, daring to indiscriminately slaughter these righteous martial artists regardless of the consequences, they could break through in any direction.
"You bastards surnamed Huang! You have nowhere to run. Surrender now, or we'll have to take action!"
"That's right, if you surrender now, you might still have a chance to live, otherwise..."
Seeing that Huang Donglai and his group were now "blocked from both sides," the two groups surrounding them stopped advancing and started shouting amongst themselves.
This kind of shouting... I think you, the readers, can see that it's actually a sign of guilt.
As the art of war says: Do not block a retreating army, leave an opening when besieging an army, and do not press a desperate enemy; otherwise your enemy may: be unafraid when trapped, be steadfast when there is nowhere to go, and fight when forced to fight.
Of course, small-scale brawls between martial arts practitioners cannot be entirely governed by the strategic thinking employed in large-scale military conflicts, but there are some commonalities between the two.
The current situation of Huang Donglai and the other two is that they are about to be forced to fight to the death.
This predicament is like what you often see in old movies: a man points a gun at a group of gangsters, who seem to outnumber him and are yelling, "How many bullets does your gun have? You think you can kill all the brothers here?" But despite his words, no one dares to move.
After all... who would want to be one of the first to risk their life for bullets?
"It seems we won't be able to escape without making these people bleed a little today." On the other hand, the more pragmatic Yun Shili had already made up his mind.
As he spoke, he put Chun Kong, whom he had been carrying on his shoulder, down to the ground.
“Killing a few... wouldn’t be a big problem, right?” Yun Shili asked, whether he was asking his two companions or talking to himself.
“I think it’s a good idea.” But in any case, the three-character king chimed in after hearing this.
Immediately afterwards, the two men adopted a posture of "getting serious" and faced the crowd blocking the forbidden area on the back mountain.
Seeing this, Huang Donglai knew that the two were trying to break through, so he consciously moved closer to Chun Kong on the ground, preparing to carry him and follow.
In the blink of an eye, Yun Shili's killing intent suddenly spread out, causing all the martial arts heroes in the fan-shaped area in front of him to take a half step back.
Yun Shili knew very well that at this time, they had to be ruthless and decisive enough... The faster they charged out in one fell swoop, the fewer casualties they would cause; conversely, if they hesitated and dragged out the battle, it would be difficult to end the situation.
However, just as he was about to unleash his arrow...
"Amitabha……"
Suddenly, a voice began chanting Buddhist mantras from nearby behind him.
Yun Shili turned his head slightly and glanced to the side, only to find that Chun Kong, who was lying on the ground, had woken up on his own.
"Holy crap! You woke up just in time. Now that you can move on your own, it'll be much easier for us to break through." Huang Donglai was overjoyed to see Chun Kong wake up and quickly went to help him up.
"Phew..." Yun Shili immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's a good thing, it's also a way for me to accumulate merit."
Chun Kong's awakening is undoubtedly a change that could force Brother Yun to change his strategy, because it not only removes a burden but also adds a great help, so he should be able to break through without killing anyone.
unexpectedly……
Yes, there's another "unexpected" element here, but this isn't an accident; it's a pleasant surprise.
"Break through? Hmm... I understand..." Chun Kong was also a clever man. After waking up, he observed the sky, listened to the conversation, and recognized people's faces... His thoughts raced, and he quickly grasped the general situation. So, he took the initiative to walk over to Yun Shili and the Three-Character King and rushed to stand in front of them. "Brother Huang has returned and come back to this mountain with you two to rescue this humble monk. He must have gone through a lot of hardships... Then, this humble monk will be in charge of clearing the way here."
After saying that, he put his hands together, slowly closed his eyes, and lowered his head.
Judging from the posture alone, no one would know what he was doing, but two seconds later, everyone around realized that the young monk was using his powers...
In that instant, Chun Kong's body faintly emitted a warm, golden light against the backdrop of the darkness. His rapidly rising and imposing power, poised to be unleashed, was like a golden Arhat, ten zhang tall, rising from the ground and soaring into the sky, majestically looking down upon all living beings below.
His "charging up" process actually only took a few seconds, but to onlookers it seemed as if he had spent a long time in a slowed-down manner.
As everyone gradually came to their senses, Chun Kong also raised his head again and slowly opened his eyes.
Those eyes, like two deep pools, reflected the lives of all living beings, and like an empty valley, encompassing heaven and earth.
Before the palm strike was even unleashed, a deafening roar reverberated through the heavens.
Before the palm was even extended, the powerful internal energy, as solid as flowing water, surged forward like a burst dam.
Looking at the people in front of him now, forget about skill level; in this situation, even out of biological instinct, one would run.
Finally, Chun Kong made his move, but the moment he actually did so, all was silent, and not a speck of dust rose.
His palm strike was like a gentle breeze, softly pushing open a door, while those who stood in his way were merely dust stirred up beneath the doorframe... They were only slightly lifted and then gently fell back down, but when they looked back, they were already far away.
No one was injured until Chun Kong withdrew his palm, but similarly, no one was left blocking their way.
Such skills and such a level of mastery, as implied in the book, are roughly equivalent to the level of those "demon-level" masters when they get serious. Of course, Chun Kong is not a demon.
Clearly, after witnessing this scene, neither the blockers who were "scattered" on the forbidden area of the back mountain nor the hundreds of pursuers on the other side dared to step forward again.
At this moment, more than fear, these people were overwhelmed by shock, and even a strange sense of relief and excitement rose within them.
After all, which person who ventures into the world wouldn't want to witness such a mind-blowing spectacle in their lifetime?
There are few people in this world who can be called unparalleled heroes or devils, but to witness an unparalleled hero or devil in action is enough to make one's life worthwhile.
"Amitabha, now there's a way out, let's hurry up and go." After settling the "escape route", Chun Kong quickly turned around and said this to Yun Shili, Sanzi Wang and Huang Donglai.
The three of them were stunned, especially Yun Shili, who immediately thought to himself: Does this kid even need us to save him? Who's going to save whom? I don't think it matters if I leave him on the mountain. Who can stop him if he wants to leave?
Hey~ you know what, the person who could have stopped him woken up at this time.
Because at this moment, in the back hall of the Zhenwu Hall, Jiang Shouzheng, after some internal struggle, decided to take advantage of the fact that no one was around and kill Zheng Dongxi, who had been left there temporarily unattended...
